Constructing a filter for existing text references
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2007 11:56 am
I have a text file with an existing bibliography which I'd really like to not have to re-enter into Bookends. Even a partial import would be better than nothing, but even from reading the guide I can't work out how to set up a filter properly.
Each entry in my bibliography looks like this (the 'Ref: ' at the beginning was searched and replaced in as mentioned in the Bookends user guide):
Ref: Polaine, A. (2005) Foreign Policy: 37 Signals, Desktop: Issue 203, February 2005, Niche Media Pty. Ltd., Australia.
My import filter at present gives me nothing. Can anyone help me here? I'm sure I'm not getting something simple.
Here's a screenshot of my current filter set-up:
